  Mother Figures and Representations of Motherhood, Contemporary Perspectives

  This conference aims to question the various ways in which motherhood is judged, how political choices are translated into cultural representations of mothers as either icons or scapegoats, and how these representations are received and challenged in a quest for either conformity or agency.

  Defining and defying the concept of deviance and degeneration in the British Isles and North America in the 19th century

  This one-day conference aims at exploring the definition(s) and contours of deviance and degeneration as it was conceived in the British Isles and North America in the 19^th century. PhD students, postgraduate students and junior scholars whose research pertains to the study of deviant groups, whether self-defined or not, are particularly welcome to participate. Speakers will be invited to focus on the processes of definition of the standards of normality – whether religious, social, political, legal, medicalor sexual – as well as what those processes entailed for those who were labelled ‘deviants’. The role of scientists, doctors but also political authorities is of considerable interest in this respect, as are the ways in which normative standards were circumvented and challenged.

  Seminar - History

  States, societies, spaces (2010-2011)

  North America, Great Britain, the Atlantic and British worlds

  Séminaire d'histoire, équipe LARCA, UFR d'études anglophones, université Paris Diderot. Ce séminaire vise à rassembler des chercheurs en histoire de l'Amérique du nord, de la Grande-Bretagne, mais aussi du monde atlantique et du monde britannique, spécialistes de champs très spécialisés. Le séminaire « États, sociétés, espaces » s'interroge sur les nouveaux dialogues qui s'établissent actuellement entre l'histoire sociale et économique, et l'histoire politique autour des questions de dettes, de salariat, de statut de l'employé ou de l'esclavage. Il met en avant la notion d' « espace » qui est au cœur de l'histoire atlantique pour en montrer la pertinence quant il s'agit d'étudier la mobilité, les migrations, les transferts culturels.
